Starbucks Baya Energy is the brand's first entry into the popular energy drink market and it shares slim cans with the caffeine that comes from coffee fruit. The fruit-flavored drinks also contain the antioxidant Vitamin C, and the energizing drinks can be found in a trio of refreshing flavors: Mango Guava, Raspberry Lime, and Pineapple Passionfruit.
The 12-ounce slim cans contain 90 calories and 160 milligrams of caffeine, which is roughly the equivalent of a cup of coffee.
Starbucks Baya Energy is coming to a variety of retail channels, including grocery stores, convenience stores and gas stations, and in the spring, consumers can look forward to seeing these energizing canned beverages at Starbucks locations.
